An MIT grad student discovers an asteroid is set to collide with Earth in just 186 days. He joins forces with a tech billionaire and the U.S. government to try and stop it, and they stumble onto a gigantic conspiracy. Series premiere.

When it is discovered that an enormous asteroid is just six months away from colliding with Earth, MIT grad student Liam Cole and tech billionaire Darius Tanz team up to save humanity from this impending apocalypse — without ever alerting the public. As part of the project, Darius recruits an aspiring sci-fi writer, Jillian, to work on a theoretical approach to saving humanity. While they try to save the world their way, the government has its own approach, with Deputy Secretary of Defense Harris Edwards spearheading the top-secret plan to deflect the asteroid.
